'Yellow 16' recovered today

[Andreas Brekken]

Hi, guys.

Yellow 16 was recovered today, by a team put together by the 'Workgroup Yellow 16'. I was lucky to be able to participate, and inspect this relic only seconds after it was put down on the deck of a converted ferry used for the recovery.

Pls follow the following link to see a photo taken by Olve Dybvig today:

Hello Andreas,
Superb picture and she looks to be in great shape , what is the history of her, i can see the hood was jettisoned and the front cowling / weapon cover is missing but no obvious strikes on the wings or this side of the fusalage

Hi, guys.

The full story of this aircraft will be further investigated as soon as the identity can be established beyond any doubt, and publications/press releases will probably come from the workgroup at that time.

The aircraft was lost when the pilot was forced to ditch soon after take-off from Herdla airfield, if the identity is what we think, a lot is known about this aircraft.

I must admit it is a beautiful start for a project, most markings are intact including a most interesting personal emblem!

A most remarkable discovery, indeed.

Here's my preliminary interpretation of the aircraft, I have yet to incorporate the lack of exhaust flaps, something I expected this aicraft to have!
